Overall Meaning

The Queenstons's song The Current State Of Affairs is a representation of the turmoil and confusion that a person goes through in their mind. The song opens with three sets of numbers representing a date, which may indicate some important moments in the artist's life. The line 'Some kind of dysphoria' could be interpreted as a struggle with a feeling of discontent or dissatisfaction, while the line 'Some kind of desire to sleep' suggests a longing for a peaceful escape. The repetition of the dates and the codes adds to the unsettling, dreamlike quality of the song.

The chorus, 'You will sleep, it'll blow over, you'll feel beautiful' offers a message of hope. Despite the struggles and confusion that may be going on inside, sleep and time can bring tranquility and harmony. The final line, 'You'll feel beautiful,' signifies a sense of self-acceptance and a realization that the beauty of existence comes from within.
